They still do. There's not much opportunity due to assholes like you
that look down on the poor and helpless and think the rich should get
richer and the poor, well, fuck them, they're parasites anyway.
Why are the poor, poor? Are the poor worse off, or better off, with a
chance to become richer? Are people more or less likely to improve their
lives, if they had no safety net to depend on?

[raising my hand] I know! I know! I'll answer the first of these Jerry
Okamura questions to give opportunity to others to address the rest of
Jerry's Jerry Okamura questions here.
<ahem>
The Jerry Okamura question that I will answer here is (quote):
"Why are the poor, poor"?
The poor, Jerry, are poor because they have no money. That is why they are
poor. If they had money, they would not be poor. Take the poor in Hawaii.
If the cities, the towns, the villages, the state, the corporations, the
partnerships, the entrepreneurs, every one who worked, the retired, and
especially the tourists gave, say, 25% of everything they have to the poor,
then the poor in Hawaii wouldn't be poor anymore, would they? So that,
Jerry, is the poor - especially the poor in Hawaii - are poor.
Now Jerry - are you AGAIN going to crawl under that rock of yours?
